SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Engineering skills like to-issues, triage, diagnose, and tdd need to know where your repo tracks issues, which triage label strings you use, and where your domain documentation lives. Without this per-repo configuration, those skills guess wrong about your workflow and produce mismatched output. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided repo exploration: Inspects git remotes, existing AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, CONTEXT.md, ADR directories, and .scratch/ to understand the current state before writing anything. - Three-way configuration: Walks you through choosing an issue tracker (GitHub via gh, GitLab via glab, local markdown under .scratch/, or a custom workflow), mapping the five canonical triage labels, and declaring single-context vs multi-context domain docs. - Scaffolded output: Writes an ## Agent skills block into your existing CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md plus seed files under docs/agents/ (issue-tracker.md, triage-labels.md, domain.md). - Use Case: You just cloned the Matt Pocock engineering skills into a GitLab-hosted monorepo. Run this skill once so triage applies your real label names and improve-codebase-architecture reads the correct per-context CONTEXT.md files. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the setup-matt-pocock-skills skill to configure the issue tracker, triage labels, and domain docs for this repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Matt Pocock engineering skills in my repo?▼

Run the setup-matt-pocock-skills skill before first use of to-issues, to-prd, triage, diagnose, tdd, improve-codebase-architecture, or zoom-out. It explores your repo, asks about your issue tracker, triage labels, and domain docs, then writes the configuration.

What files does the setup skill create or edit?▼

It adds an `## Agent skills` block to your existing CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md (never creating a second one) and writes docs/agents/issue-tracker.md, docs/agents/triage-labels.md, and docs/agents/domain.md from seed templates.

Does it support GitLab or local markdown issue trackers?▼

Yes. Besides GitHub via the gh CLI, it supports GitLab via the glab CLI and a local markdown convention where issues live as files under .scratch/<feature>/. Other trackers like Jira or Linear can be recorded as freeform prose.

Can I customize the triage label names it uses?▼

Yes. The five canonical roles (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) default to their own names, but you can map each role to whatever label strings your tracker already uses during setup.

When should I re-run the setup skill?▼

Re-run it only if you switch issue trackers or want to restart configuration from scratch. For ordinary changes, edit the files under docs/agents/ directly; the engineering skills read them on each use.
